CAMPUS TOUR
What to Expect

2026 Heart and Hand Conference
Heart & Hand is a one-day, in-person conference designed to provide practical tools for fostering children’s emotional and cognitive growth. The name reflects two key principles: the importance of strong relationships (heart) and hands-on, experiential learning (hand). Sessions will focus on real-world strategies for guiding children, particularly ages 15 months to 6 years, in ways that support their independence, confidence, and curiosity.
